5.A new computer program is being praised as a life-changer for blind people.The new program is known as the KNFB Reader app.It can help users listen to an audio read-back-the sound-of printed material including restaurant menus to studying papers in the classroom,which will make the blind people's life much easier.The application software program costs$99.It is the product of a 1ong relationship between the National Federation of the Blind and Ray Kurzweil,a computer scientist and an employee of Google.One user,named Gordon Luke,said that he was able to use the app to read his voting card for the recent election.
The KNFB Reader makes use of new pattern recognition and image-processing technology,and new hardware for smartphones.People using the app can adjust,or change the position of the camera and read printed materials out loud and that gives some people greater independence.
Mr.Kurzweil started working on what he called"reading machines"in the early 1970s.The idea came after speaking with a blind person who expressed frustration with the lack of technology to assist blind people.The first reading machine was the size of a washing machine.It cost$50,000.The technology has continued to improve over the Dast 20years.The new reading app can recognize and take printed material in one language and change it to another language.But it was not available on a mobile device until now.In the past,it cost more than$1,000to use the software app with a camera and a mobile phone.
